Soft- and hardware specially designed for golf courses, but also applicable
for other purposes. Since 1998 sold and implemented at more than 120
golf courses in Belgium, France and Switzerland.
Hardware based on chipcard technology (as of medio 2005 also contactless):
- Entrance registration for for example parking lot, locker room, dressing
rooms, personell area or driving range
- Payment system for vending machines, for example ball dispenser, snack
dispenser, showers, illumination or heating of range bay
- Payment registration via terminal or computer for restaurant or shop
(even all sales of shop items can be registered through this software)
Software:
- Registration of users (who can be defined into groups, for example
greenfee, member and pro). All
personal details can be defined and stored
- Registration of use per facility per time unit
Dataregistration:
- Central data storage for management / bookkeeping
- Communication with hardware online (bus, max. 1 km) or by data transfer
card
- Statistic details: use per customer, per time unit, per machine, etc.
Card:
- User details and credits are stored on the card by means of a unique
code, which is the link to the data on the computer
- Card loss is registered on a ‘black list’. Black list
cards cannot be used anymore. Members who have not paid for their contribution
in time can be excluded for the use of certain services by use of this
black list
Commercial:
- All customer details are stored. With that database you can study
their usage behaviour
- Cash is only on 1 central point. That is convenient both for golfer
and course management
- Customers do not spend money when using the card. That lowers the
treshold to spend more. In the end, turnover grows.
- Credits in circulation make an attractive, remaining financing profit
- Customers finance the system through bail for the cards
